wilwheaton:yeahiwasintheshit:fuckyeahtx:rowantheexplorer:symphonyofmars:mistressvioleta:elyseeeeew:otahkoapisiakii:!!!IMPORTANT FOR BLACK US VOTERS!!!I saw this on Facebook and went to check my registration status, sure it was fine because I voted recently, but I put in the info and it said I’m not registeredPLEASE, especially if you’re a Black voter, check your registration status at vote.orgKnow your status Does your last name sound anything like Lopez, Martinez, or Rodriguez? Mine does. When I saw this post I checked my voter registration status online with my state. Despite registering just three months ago, I was no longer registered to vote, and I did not receive my ballot. If you live in a mail-in voting state and you didn’t get your ballot, contact your county election official/county clerk for a replacement. Make sure you check with your state’s voting site as well. I just had the shit scared out of me because that website said I was registered, but when I checked my state’s site (and made sure I had the right county selected) it said I was registered.It’s worth checking your state’s site every few months anyway (especially when any election is coming up).Texas is definitely purging voters. They’re also making it harder to re-register if they purged you. I hate that this is true, but POC will need to check and check frequently to stay registered in Texas.College students, too. In the 2014 election, I had to vote in San Marcos, and I can’t tell you how many Texas State students were turned away because they didn’t cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s on getting their registration transferred and current.IMPORTANT Y’ALL.Republicans are openly saying they are trying to restrict voting, and you can be damn sure the people they want to suppress are poc. So make sure you and you’re family are registered, esp if you live in a red state with republican controlled state houses. Reblog this over and over again, until everyone who has been suppressed by the GOP sees it. -- source link
